FUNCTION OF FINANCIAL

1. Estimation of capital requirements –
such as expected cost and profits, future
programs and policies to ensure increase in
earning capacity.
2. Determination of capital composition –
after estimation, capital structure should be
decided, it involves short-term and long-term
debt equity (D/E) analysis.
Debt / Equity Analysis
Under the solvency financial ratio
measures the amount of debt a company uses to fund
its business. (also called leveraging/risk/gearing)
Ex. Total shares value = P180,000 and
Total Liabilities = P620,000
D/E ratio = 344.44% (high risk)
What if: Total shares value = P620,000 and
Total Liabilities = P180,000
D/E ratio = 29.03% (low risk)
• The higher the ratio is, the more debt a business
uses compared to equity
• A ratio that is too high can potentially cause
problems in your small business.
• The risk of defaulting on, or being unable to repay,
your debt increases as your debt-to-equity ratio rises
• If you fail to make interest payments, creditors might
take your company’s assets or force you into
bankruptcy
